Quotable
"Credit to MTSU for playing a really tough match today. We played a great doubles point, hesitated on a couple of points and that was enough for MTSU to take it from us. In the singles, the guys competed from start to finish and came up just a bit short today."
"Thank you to our seniors, Sam and Hugo, for everything they've done for this program. Hugo played a huge part in our conference title during his freshman year and has been a leader on the team ever since. Sam has worn his heart on his sleeve for the Owls every match he's played since transferring in and I couldn't have asked any more of him."
Associate Head Coach Simon Pritchard
Next Up
The Owls will return in August to begin prep for the 2025-26 season.
